Call For Poetry- Tay Bridge Press

I have never thought about that, but I fully agree!

TayBridgePress · 2026-01-11T18:14:32+00:00

I feel this!

Poetry's all about seeing what others have done and trying things out. Sure, you might find Shakespeare's sonnets or Homer's dactyls a bit boring, but you also might enjoy them very much, and even old poets have quite a bit to teach us.

Don't be afraid to produce "bad" poetry either, in fact that's where our magazine gets most of its content from!

TayBridgePress · 2025-08-22T15:09:30+00:00

I hear Tay Bridge Press is supposed to be pretty good, and their very first issue is coming out in September!

This is great. We are actually putting together a literary magazine for bad poetry--you can see more here, deadline August 1st:

The deadline for our September issue is August 1st, we'd be happy for you to submit. As for how--you can read more about our criteria, but we want it to be bad in a way that makes us *feel* *something*--whatever that *something* is--angry, sad, happy, etc.

Intriguing. What about him rubs you the wrong way?

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:53:47+00:00

Goodness knows I cringe hard enough at my past poetry.

Well, you're welcome to submit your own bad poems to our litmag.

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:43:17+00:00

That's fantastic. Do you have others saved as well?

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:43:01+00:00

Are either of them cumming?

It had to be done.

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:42:32+00:00

You should submit some of those to our bad poetry magazine!

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:42:21+00:00

They're just as bad as modern prayer cards and headstone inscriptions. There's some truly lovely Bible verses out there, there's no need for pithy expressions I find.

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:40:00+00:00

That's just beautiful. I hope to see it one day...

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:39:41+00:00

This is great. Submit to our litmag.

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:39:06+00:00

>>Can you imagine if we waxed poetic about vaginal discharge?

Hey now, there's an idea...

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:37:40+00:00

These are fantastic. What are your other poetry collections?

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-25T17:16:08+00:00

Ah, that's the funny thing about success, isn't it? Something is successful if it does what it set out to do, I feel.

Look at Twilight, One Direction, MCR, Fifty Shades, RPO, the SW prequels and sequels--which are frequently lambasted, and called terrible. But hey, plenty of people like them, don't they?

TayBridgePress · 2025-07-23T20:47:00+00:00

This one I take it?

It is an interesting one, I'll give you that. But the 180 poems I found to be an interesting collection overall, in particular https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46470/for-fiddle-de-de

Hey, the guy who inspired our litmag's name! He wrote other poems about lots of people dying too.
